Microspectroscope having automatic sample detection function

Abstract

The present invention relates to improvement in accuracy of an automatic sample detection technique in spectrometry of a microspectroscope. A microspectroscope 10 comprises: a light source 12 that emits an excitation light to a sample 20; a condensing lens 16 that emits the excitation light to a predetermined position of the sample 20 and condenses a reflected light or a transmitted light from the sample 20; a spectrometer 24 that detects a condensed light; and an analysis control unit 30 for analyzing a signal from the spectrometer 24; the microspectroscope 10 that uses an observation image of the sample 20 to perform spectrometry, wherein the analysis control unit 30 comprises: an image storage part 32 that converts the observation image to an all-in-focus image to store the all-in-focus image; and a control part 34 that makes the microspectroscope 10 to perform measurement, the image storage part 32 adds a detected information of a sample point that is a target of spectrometry to the all-in-focus image to create a sample search image data, and the control part 34 automatically detects the sample point by using the sample search image data.
